Places on Escodrion worth visiting

A list of places that are worth visiting for natural or cultural purposes on Valeyne.

1. Chocolate Pools (Xoýlaýln Miwrarn), Gaòlvan, Denmòrik

Located twelve heks north of Gaòlvan in the Eastern part of Denmòrik the Chocolate Pools, or Xoýlaýln Miwrarn as they are known locally, are a series of small lakes in the jungle which, for three months every year at the end of the wet season is filled with a sweet substance which comes from fruit similar to cacao beans, but with an added sweetness. After falling from the thick clusters of Miwrarn trees surrounding and partly growing on the small lakes the Miwrarn fruit hit the bottom of the lakes releasing their seeds and slowly fermenting. The rotting fruit combined with the clean waters of the lake make a slightly alcoholic beverage known as Miwgànàigh which resembles chocolate in taste and texture.

You can get to Xoýlaýln Miwrarn by bus from Gaòlvan to the village of Xoýlepek and then walking to the pools. Gaòlvan has a train connection from Uptallà.

You can get to Tureddin i Amanaste from Skai, Nebverdene and most other ports in the north of Inbud.

2. Pillars of Heaven (Tureddin i Amanaste), Inbud, Lavra

The Pillars of Heaven or Tureddin i Amanaste are two large windswept pillars of rock jutting out of the seabed just north of the Lavran island of Inbud. The first Kneian settlers sailed through these pillars under Captain Vair u Lar entering the Lavran Archipelago from the West hence their second name Lavrahen Vámeni, or Lavran Gates. The Pillars are a popular tourist attraction and can be viewed either from the shore or from ferries which sail from most north-western ports on the Island of Inbud.
